the perfect mixtape...i dare you.

[meadowlark^]

 15-20 songs for a righteous mix?  I'm tired of all mine and want some new flavor. Eclectic is good, but i'm not good at eclectic. Here's my stab at it--its raining in Kansas, and the songs reflect it :-/

ugly cassanova - hotcha girls
baptist generals - going back song
bonnie prince billy - i see a darkness
califone - michigan girls
songs:ohia - how to be perfect men
cat power - metal heart
fruit bats - need it just a little
bob dylan - wigwam
clem snide - the water
neil young - cowgirl in the sand
rolling stones - no expectations
hem - half acre
iron and wine - lion's mane
beachwood sparks - drinkswater
bright eyes - you will...
elliot smith - somebody that i used to know
polyphonic spree - days like this
pedro the lion - the longest winter
my morning jacket - i will be there when you die

-music never lets you down.
